Apart from round nine of the 2016 Extreme Festival motorsport series, the circuit will host a round of this year’s Mopar Endurance championship for sports and saloon cars, bringing night racing back to Gauteng.

The Aidcall 247 Ligier of Simon Murray and Gavin Cronje should be the favourite to win Saturday’s Mopar Three-Hour Endurance race at Zwartkops.

@ Ending the day’s activities will be a Mopar Three-Hour race for sports and saloon cars.

Scheduled to start in the late afternoon, it should run until after dark, with all competitors to make a compulsary pit stop at the time of their choosing.

Topping the entry list will be the Aidcall 247 Ligier JS49 of Simon Murray and Gavin Cronje, with its toughest adversaries expected to be the Harp Juno SS3 of Francis Carruthers and Johan Engelbrecht, plus the Weltevreden Estate Juno Sports of Andre’Bezuidenhout and Peter van der Spuy.
